Gobernadores coloniales de la provincia de Santa Marta
Santa Marta es la ciudad más antigua del hemisferio occidental continental. El adelantado sevillano Rodrigo de Bastidas fundó la ciudad el 29 de julio de 1525, por lo que en 2025 se cumplirán 500 años de presencia española en este territorio. A partir de ese momento, Santa Marta estuvo bajo el mando de un gobernador español, quien ejercía la autoridad civil y militar sobre el territorio de su jurisdicción. El dominio español se prolongó por cerca de tres siglos, periodo durante el cual ejercieron su oficio unos ochenta y cinco gobernadores, caracterizados en su mayoría por la brevedad de su gobierno. Para conocer la historia de algunos de los gobernadores más importantes de esta ...
Circunscripciones especiales indígenas y afro (1991-2010): cuestionamientos a la representación identitaria en el Congreso de Colombia
El documento analiza los resultados electorales departamentales en Colombia, desde 1991 al 2010 en las circunscripciones especiales del Senado indígena y la Cámara afro. A partir de dicho análisis se sostiene que la creación de las curules especiales para minorías étnicas en el Congreso trajeron consigo tres efectos negativos e inesperados: fragmentación política, escasa existencia de voto identitario y mínima efectividad de dicho voto en término de traducción a curules. Los resultados de esta investigación permiten cuestionar la noción identitaria de la representación política étnica que subyace a los debates de la Asamblea Constituyente en 1991.
Entre el poder, el cambio y el orden social en la Nueva Granada colonial
Las obras hidráulicas tuvieron un lugar de capital importancia en la Santafé virreinal. Si bien la construcción de acueductos, canales de desagüe y puentes no fue exclusiva del siglo xviii, vale la pena advertir que para finales de este siglo aumentaron las discusiones y controversias en torno al mejoramiento de la infraestructura hidráulica. Formalmente, lo anterior se ampara en la considerable cantidad de expedientes capitulares, audienciales, notariales y financieros que nos hablan de las construcciones e intervenciones hidráulicas adelantadas en la ciudad. Tal tipo de evidencia es útil no sólo para imaginar el rostro material de la Santafé dieciochesca, sino además para reflexionar en torno a los argumentos y justificaciones bajo los que la administración capitalina decidió ejecutar —o no— ciertos proyectos.
Women, Business and the Law 2020
Women, Business and the Law 2020, the sixth edition in a series, analyzes laws and regulations affecting women's economic inclusion in 190 economies. The Women, Business and the Law Index, composed by eight indicators structured around women's interactions with the law as they begin, progress through and end their careers, aligns different areas of the law with the economic decisions women make at various stages of their lives. The indicators are: Mobility, Workplace, Pay, Marriage, Parenthood, Entrepreneurship, Assets, and Pension.The report updates all indicators as of September 1, 2019, and builds evidence around the linkages between legal gender equality and women's economic inclusion. By examining the economic decisions women make as they go through different stages of their working lives and the pace of reforms over the past 2 years, Women, Business and the Law makes an important contribution to research and policy discussions about the state of women's economic opportunities and empowerment. While celebrating the progress made, the data and analysis emphasize the work still to be done to ensure economic empowerment for all.
Portrait of a Young Painter
In Portrait of a Young Painter, the distinguished historian Mary Kay Vaughan adopts a biographical approach to understanding the culture surrounding the Mexico City youth rebellion of the 1960s. Her chronicle of the life of painter Pepe Zúñiga counters a literature that portrays post-1940 Mexican history as a series of uprisings against state repression, injustice, and social neglect that culminated in the student protests of 1968. Rendering Zúñiga's coming of age on the margins of formal politics, Vaughan depicts midcentury Mexico City as a culture of growing prosperity, state largesse, and a vibrant, transnationally-informed public life that produced a multifaceted youth movement brimming with creativity and criticism of convention. In an analysis encompassing the mass media, schools, politics, family, sexuality, neighborhoods, and friendships, she subtly invokes theories of discourse, phenomenology, and affect to examine the formation of Zúñiga's persona in the decades leading up to 1968. By discussing the influences that shaped his worldview, she historicizes the process of subject formation and shows how doing so offers new perspectives on the events of 1968.
